I'm currently running my site on a win2k server, I'm using PHP for my tag
board. Today a hacker managed to overwrite the text file I was using to
store all the messages, which really isn't that big a surprise considering
the permissions to the folder it is kept in are wide open thanks to my
hosting company.
My question is, is there anything that I can do so that only PHP scripts on
the server are able to access the file? Or am I going to have to contact my
hosting company and see if they can figure out how to set the permissions
properly?
Thanks in advance.
